It doesn't bother me that Zoe Sugg is a well-known YouTuber with 9+ million views. It doesn't bother me that her book sold like mad its first week, making it the fastest-selling debut novel in the U.K. It doesn't bother me that this was only published because Penguin's CEO's 13-year-old daughter raved about it, otherwise he wasn't sure he was going to sign her.

What bothers me is that I see 1 star reviews on a book unread by reviewers who are outraged her "internet fame" brought her a book deal. I understand that it can be frustrating working your ass off on a book and find that no one wants to publish it. But Zoe didn't have instantaneous internet fame, and she had to work for her subscribers. Did she open an avenue for publishers to pursue YouTubers? Maybe. But a story is a story, and Zoe has mentioned before that she wrote as a child and teen.

As a community we should be reviewing the book. If you review the book and don't like it that is 100% okay. But I hate seeing reviews of Zoe and evident frustration over her success. It is NOT OKAY to bring someone down because you feel they "don't deserve it." But I know people will do it anyway. This is just my two cents, I suppose.
